My wife and I had dinner at Scotia before attending theatre. The restaurant has a nice ambience and is located just above the Octagon, so is close to many in-town activities. The food was good, but we were disappointed with the service. The waitress was not especially knowledgable. For example, we learned about menu items that were not available after... More

Excellent food, service faultless. Warm atmosphere. Would happily dine there again, but live in the North Island! A warm and intimate dining experience. The sm oked beef and hare were gorgeous.

Delicious tasty authentic Scottish cuisine & service was friendly & attentive without being at all intrusive... We were attending the Comedy show later so needed an early meal and despite arriving late to dine, staff were very helpful...

My wife's gravadlax was a little dry, but was... More

just returned from a meal at Scotia. took the early bird menu at $34 a person including starter and main. The food was delicious. smoked beef: never tried it before. amazing taste and cooked perfectly (medium rare to rare). Also salmon was lovely with an unusual sauce. Excellent value for money.

Lovely setting in an old terraced house. Unfortunately it stops there. The waiter served my wife a starter portion when she had asked for it as a main meal. When this was pointed out he said it was a main turned around and walked off. He could not have cared less. When this was pointed out when we paid at... More
